Whilst digging through my large pile of unpainted Bones Kickstarter 1 miniatures I spotted the golems. These chaps feature quite a lot in D&D games so I decided it was time to slap some paint on them. I've not had much painting time recently as my movement disorder has been playing up so three miniatures with very simple paint jobs was about as much as I could manage.

The flesh golem is still on my work bench but should be joining them shortly.

If you go down to the woods today you might see my completed Hunters of the Wild units! Mantic don't yet make models for this unit choice so these are a mixture of Dryads and wood spirits from five different manufacturers brought together and mixed up.The KoW v2 rules describe them thus:-

Like a true force of nature, wild and untamed, the fey creatures of the forest gather in great hunting bands when the Elves march to war, honouring ancient pacts between the Sylvan Kindred and the Green Lady. Gnomes, fauns, will o’ the wisp, dryads and sprites form packs of spiteful warriors, fighting with the full fury of the Great Wild.

This is my first attempt at multibasing in 28mm (other than swarms etc). Usually I base troops individually and magnetise them to their movement trays but in this case I decided to do something different, largely because a load of the models were designed to fit on 25mm bases and the unit footprint for HotW assumes 20mm bases. I think it worked out pretty well but I think I'll stick to my usual methods of basing for now.

In other news this brings me up to 268 painted 28mm miniature equivalents for the year so far. The target of 300 that I set myself in January looks possible so I am cracking on with some more Mantic elves that I assembled and primed ages ago and just left. These will hopefully be a quick win and propel me towards my goal.

About Me

I've been a wargamer for over thirty years and in that time I have collected far too many wargames miniatures most of which are still unpainted. This is the chronicle of my attempt to do something about it.
